This is a review of publications addressing aspects of the intersection
between gender-based violence (GBV) and HIV. The literature review is organised
into eight sub-sections: 1. Exploring the Linkages: General and Theoretical
Examinations of the Intersection of GBV and HIV; 2. Interrogating and
interpreting the associated risks of HIV/AIDS and GBV; 3. The role of men; 4.
GBV and HIV testing and disclosure; 5. GBV as a risk factor for HIV; 6. HIV as a
risk factor for GBV; 7. The increased susceptibility of sub-populations to the
linked risks of HIV/AIDS and GBV; 8. Effective approaches for addressing the
joint risk factors of GBV and HIV/AIDS. It is argued that there is a great need
for more publications on grassroots work on these issues.
